If i have an .fev with an event test/event1
and another with an event test/event2

The group test seems to appear in the root group list twice. Is this as intended? If i were to try to load all data in group test would I actually have to find both groups and issue load calls? Which is returned if i ask for group test?

I have not done a stand alone example but this seems to be what is happening in our engine.

In the case you described there would be one group "event test" containing two events "event1" and "event2" – the group would not be duplicated. If you can confrim that you’re getting multiple groups with the same name in the same group then let me know as that’s not meant to happen.
